Background: Persons with hematologic malignancies have a high symptom burden throughout the illness journey. Coping skills interventions effectively reduce fatigue for other cancer patients. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify if coping interventions can reduce fatigue in patients with hematologic malignancies. Methods: A search of PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, APA Psych INFO, Scopus, Cochrane, and non-traditional publications was performed in June 2021 for studies introducing coping interventions for adults with hematological cancers within the past 20 years. The Transactional Model of Stress and Coping was used as a framework with fatigue as the primary outcome. The Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence Based Practice Appraisal tool was used for quality appraisal. Results: Twelve interventional studies met criteria for inclusion. Four studies significantly reduced fatigue, with an additional 3 showing a reduction in fatigue. Interventions that utilized both problem and emotion-focused coping were more effective at reducing fatigue compared to interventions that only used emotion or problem-focused coping. Conclusion: This systematic review found moderate-strength evidence to support that coping interventions can reduce fatigue, with mixed, but mostly beneficial results. Clinicians caring for patients with hematologic malignancies should consider using coping interventions to reduce fatigue.
